"Drop off and my mom crying and bowing in the office...I've been jumping into the world as a Body since then."
Jung Woo-sung, who has been in the top star position since debut. When I asked him if he wanted to grab straw at Interview, which was held for the movie "Beasts Who Want to Hold a straw," he recalled the days of high school Drop off.
"When I went to the first semester of high school and went out to Drop off, when I took a bus with my mother who was bowing her head in the office like a sinner and went to Sadang-dong through Bangbae-dong cafe alley. I left my mother crying as soon as my son got off the bus and jumped into the world with Body, and I did not know where to lay down for the next few years. I wandered around and looked all the time.”
He described the entertainment industry debut as a "tremendous straw": every day since he climbed on the lifeboat was a grateful moment, of course, there were difficult moments, but not despairing.
"I wanted to stick out to the world alone as a child, observe the world with Body, and catch something in vague loneliness. My mother (Yoon Yeo-jung) gives the line "I can start again" and I think it's a saying, I did it too."
'The beasts who want to catch the straw' is a work that depicts the different stories of people who hold money bags in their hands at the edge of the cliff. Jung Woo-sung played Taeyoung, who dreams of a hantang, suffering from debts due to his lover who disappeared. Tae-young is confident that he has read all the editions himself, but in fact, he is the most "hogu" character in the film. Jung Woo-sung's performance, which seems to be a lax wit, brings reality to Tae-young.
"I played a little lightly on the first shot, and the director seemed to be embarrassed. I think the directors have an image imprinted on the actor Jung Woo-sung. I think it should be a little more cool, a little heavier. The new director's most mistake in the field is to close his mind saying, "It's not the picture I thought." Director Kim Yong-hoon seemed like a director who was ready to listen to the actor's story. Thanks to this, Taeyoung's tone and manners developed naturally. "
He has long expressed his intention to direct the director, and he is about to direct commercial films as a "protector". Who was the most influential person to 'director' Jung Woo-sung, not 'actor' Jung Woo-sung? Kim Seong-su, who made him a star and 'Asura', who was re-evaluated as an actor, is the main character.
"Director Kim Seong-su has learned the opportunity and method to participate confidently in the work. I wrote 'Bit' narration to me to write it once, and I praised it as 'Wow good' and reflected it in the movie again. And then you keep writing something, and you say, "Funny, fun." And I think it's expanded to direct."
Jung Woo-sung, a perfect and colorful image in CF, and his face in his work are quite different. Jung Woo-sung said he does not try to reduce the gap between the two faces.
“Advertising is really image sales, and you have to be faithful to it, and movies are more psychological than images. We focus more on the troubles, stress, and love that humans have. CF and movies, Jung Woo-sung in the opposite position. In the meantime, I think I spent a long time meeting the audience at the contact point somewhere. "
